  4. I don't think it was supposed to attract anyone in particular. I think it was what they felt like playing at the time influenced by the music around them that they were hearing and enjoying.
  5. "Brown-Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison will always and forever remind me of The Fairbanks Inn, known as the F.B.I., in Winter Park, FL. I used to go there a lot in 1983 to see a band called the U.S. Males play, and that was a song they played a lot. I was a broke-ass 18 year old, but I could go there because there was no cover charge and they never carded me despite the fact that the drinking age had recently gone up to 19. The first time they ever carded me, coincidentally, was the the first time I went there after my 19th birthday! Not that it really mattered. I wasn't a drinker, and I went there strictly to see the band. I used to sit at the bar and work on my novel between their sets. One night between sets, their vaguely Stewart Copelandesque drummer Johnny asked me about my sitting at the bar and writing, and I told him that I was working on a novel about a rock band. Since I didn't know anything about drums except that they were in all my favourite music, I asked him to tell me what the names of each of the drums were. He borrowed my notebook to draw me a sketch with the drums labelled. I had a bit of a crush on him after that I seem to recall that they played originals as well as covers, and they had some songs I really liked, but the only thing I remember clearly is "Brown-Eyed Girl" because Johnny sang it and he was just so adorable I couldn't stand it :D
  6. So sorry to hear that, tx. Sending prayers and best wishes to you and your family.
  7. Between The Wheels reminds me of arriving in Binghamton, NY on a rainy night in autumn of 2007 in my new (used) Nissan Sentra, feeling happy because I'd just fallen in love with Rush the previous summer, and I was going to visit the friend of mine who was at least partly responsible for that development after twelve years of patient effort to get me to take them seriously :D
  8. Why do people think that Neil is "very private?" He's been writing whole books about himself for 20 years now!
  9. I thought Far and Wide. was edited very well. Certainly better than most. I refuse to read Clockwork Angels (Although I have it.) because I have an interpretation of that album through the lyrics (and music) that Kevin J. Anderson would likely ruin if I read the novel so I'm staying clear of it. Good choice! I had to work to de-associate the album and the book after I read it.
  10. I liked Roadshow best because it almost acknowledged that Neil is actually in Rush.
  11. My dear friend, you know me so well! (Gosh, that bass...and the man is pretty magnificent, too )Thank you very much indeed! The nose knows, baby! ;)
  12. Happy Birthday, bean! http://www.rushisaband.com/images/201504/3373.f.jpg
  13. After much thought, side 2, although the real answer is, first side 1 and then side 2. A proper album, that should be listened to in its entirety.
  14. Yeah, it didn't stop at the end on 2016, did it... Did anyone really expect people to stop dying? Yes. Optimism is a good quality ;)
